Grindelwald

 View from our apartment

Not much sewing happened over this weekend but we had a fabulous child free weekend at Grindelwald.  As much as we love doing activities as a family, skiing is just way to difficult with young children and our youngest two really don't enjoy the cold.  So we did a swap with another family, we minded their children for a weekend and in return they minded ours for a weekend.

Conditions were definitely spring skiing at its best, great cover, blue skies but a little bit icy and a little bit slushy.  This was our first experience skiing in Switzerland and it was spectacular.  Skiing at the top of Europe, in the shadow of the Eiger is pretty fantastic.  We definitely look forward to bringing the girls back here in the future.  I try to live in the moment but it will be fun when we can all ski together as a family.

Oh and I did sneak in a little stitching on Philippa's first quilt on the drive home. I hope to finish it this week....
